2023 Saudi GP Tyre Strategy

The 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was defined by Pirelli's middle-range compounds and a critical Safety Car on Lap 18, which favored Red Bull and Mercedes. Sergio Pérez and Max Verstappen utilized the durability of the Hard C2 tyre to secure a 1-2 finish for Red Bull. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri completed a 49-lap marathon on the Hard compound, and Lewis Hamilton leveraged an alternative strategy to jump the Ferraris after their early pit stops.
